  5. Help us to Help you If you have a philanthropic nature, you will enjoy your partnership with us Support us Daniel Tabibzadeh, a graduate of Stony Brook University, obtained his bachelor’s degree in the biological sciences in May of 2011. As an avid follower of technology, Daniel believes that the future of biology will eventually become intertwined with computer technology, in that “biotechnology” will heavily associate with computers and ultimately artificial intelligence. As such, Daniel has begun a new undertaking; to elevate the Frontiers in Bioscience journal to new heights and also facilitate the “back-end” automation of various programming-related methodologies of manuscripts. Daniel acts as a “consultant” for core decisions such as Website re-design and other major accords. Daniel will also participate in the funding decisions of FBS and ongoing activities at the research institute and will be responsible for all budgetary matters.

  7. Help us to Help you and your loved ones Become part of Frontiers in Bioscience Research Institute Using the most modern research advances, FBS Research Institute will focus on reversal of the aging process and in treating cancer by non-radiotherapeutic or chemotherapy approaches. Over the past several decades, competing national priorities have restricted the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the primary federal agency that funds biomedical research to support diverse research initiatives of scientists across the US. For this reason, private support for basic research is now more important than ever particularly when there is no technical block in the progress of science. Philanthropic gifts to the Frontiers in Bioscience Research Institute will lead to real change in biomedical research aimed at extending the healthy years of our lives and in cancer treatment. Gifts and private funds from individuals, families, foundations and corporations can place Frontiers in Bioscience Research Institute on an accelerated pace of discovery. Scientists at the institute have the flexibility to follow promising leads and identify new approaches before they become eligible for NIH grant support. These fundings will also support the institute to recruit the most talented scientists who are committed to make Landmark discoveries. Please consider to support us in our mission to helping humanity.

  8. Support us Our Funding Priorities Support New Reversal of Aging Research Building We plan to develop a clinic for aging reversal for the public. Our target date for the construction of this facility is Jan 1, 2015. This is a clinic for implementation of procedures that insure reversal of aging of the participants. Interested individuals can send their letter of interest to us for participation in our endeavors and for reversal of aging of their loved ones. Support Foundation Grants Research grants from foundations do not provide funding for indirect administrative cost. Your support will supplement such funds that are generally not paid by Research grant foundations. Support Recruitment of New Scientific Faculty During the past several decades, there has been a sharp decrease in the amount of funds that support research in the US through National Institutes of Health (NIH). Particularly, this has impacted young scientists who have the hope to helping humanity but fail to secure funds for their research on aging and cancer. The average age of funding has risen to 41 and the funding rate stands at a dismal rate (5-7%) in various study sections of NIH. Great advancement in techniques in medicine, has made it feasible to pursue and find breakthroughs that will change medicine in this decade. We anticipate that by the year 2020-2030, many of human diseases including cancer and aging, will be curable. However, finding such treatments require funding that currently is not available through NIH or other funding agencies. Your contribution will make this feasible. The Institute seeks to add 10 new Faculty positions by 2015 and will need to spend $2 - $3 million to recruit, equip, and provide the initial support for each of the new scientist. Similar funds not available from granting agencies and private funds are required to start new scientists on their road of discovery. A gift of $2.5 million entitles the donor to name the position in perpetuity (“Endowed Professorship”). Support of New “High-Risk, High-Payoff” Research Initiatives Federal granting agencies, by nature, only fund research proposals that are low risk but these research endeavors add only marginally to science when executed to their completion. Most advances in medicine, however, have occurred through private contributions that support “high risk” but “high pay-off” research. The Institute actively seeks contributions for support of these “high-risk” approaches that are likely to bring sweeping changes in medicine. Among them are approaches for non-radiotherapeutic and non-chemotherapy approaches for treatment of cancer and aging reversal that are not currently funded by NIH or other Federal agencies due to their high risk nature. Support of Student Science Education The Institute actively seeks gifts, and other forms of contributions and corporate sponsorships to educate talented students who consider science research as a possible career goal. Your contribution will support such gifted individuals to find their way in research and allow us to train them to be future scientists. Support of Community Education in Aging and Cancer The Institute hosts highly popular and thought provoking Seminars in a wide array of subjects but particularly those that address treatment of cancer or reversal of aging. Institute scientists and highly recognized external scientists will deliver their work on cutting edge technology, and breakthroughs in medicine and research on aging and cancer in our quarterly lectures in the FBS Auditorium. The Institute seeks gifts and corporate sponsorships in support of these Lecture series and highly exceptional educational programs. Support for Purchase of scientific equipments Your gift goes a long way to allow us to continue to purchase expensive research equipments that are difficult to purchase with Federal grants. Such equipments are required for our research that uses such equipment for data generation or for data mining and analysis Mission Statement Editorial Profile FBS Delivers Support us Frontiers in Bioscience Research Institute 16471 Scientific Way Irvine, CA 92618 fbs@bioscience.org

  14. Help us Help you Support us Kamran Khavarani Art, Abstract Romanticism Early life Born into an artistic family, Khavarani started painting at a very young age. When he was twelve years old, he began to study classical painting with the well-known artist, Reza Samimi. Khavarani completed his education in 1966 from Tehran University with a Master’s degree in Architecture and a Ph.D. in Urban Design. His graduate work was done under the guidance of his mentor Master, Hooshang Seyhoun, the internationally renowned Iranian authority in art and architecture Influences Khavarani’s earlier paintings were influenced by his classical and formal training in arts and architecture. Since his recent encounters with the philosophy of Rumi and other great teachers, both the artist and his art have been transformed and his current paintings carry subtle mystical messages. Kamran Khavarani’s paintings represent a rare fusion of the philosophical and metaphysical with the aesthetic, and they draw viewers into the inner world. Professor Boime wrote about Khavarani in his last book; If you love art, you love arts from Kamran Khavarani Art Gallery Receive a piece of art as a gift today.

  15. Help us to Help you Support us “The Birth of Abstract Romanticism: Art for a New Humanity, Rumi and the Paintings of Kamran Khavarani’: “Exalted by the love poems of the Persian poet Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-73), Khavarani seeks to translate his ecstatic feelings into visual harmonies that celebrate the idea of Presence, the loving, creative side of existence potentially in everything and everyone.” In The Birth of Abstract Romanticism, Professor Boime explored the details and effects of the artist’s style: “… Khavarani visually expresses his inner response to Rumi, evoking the oceanic and cosmic metaphors of the Persian mystic…Assigning to each of the four elements (earth, air, fire and water) its own unique color register, he gives his primordial visions - most evident in his glowing 'Creation' (2003) - a riveting presence. His skies and seas are saturated in unprecedented, emotional blue-greens, purples and oranges, and his mountain forms are often surrounded by a web of shadowy halos that convey a misty sensory impression of a world still in formation.” If you love art, you love arts from Kamran Khavarani Art Gallery Receive a piece of art as a gift today.

  16. Help us Help you Support us In an open letter on July 28, 2008, Professor Boime wrote: “…Khavarani resurrects the romantic possibility that art can change the world by reaching out unstintingly to the heart and imagination of the individual spectator.” As Professor Boime wrote in the conclusion of The Birth of Abstract Romanticism, “It remains to be seen how the fallout from Khavarani’s painting will influence the history of art. Certainly his work goes against the grain of most international contemporary art and in fact purports to offer an alternative to it…‘Beauty’ is certainly the key word in Khavarani’s lexicon, as it represents the quality he has made it his life’s ambition to express—a harmonizing force to offset the ‘ugliness’ of so much bacchanalian and barbaric display that presently passes for art.” If you love art, you love arts from Kamran Khavarani Art Gallery Receive a piece of art as a gift today.

  17. Help us Help you Support us Technique Khavarani paints with his hands encased in plastic gloves and by working flatly in oil on paper. He uses his whole hand, in almost dancing motion, and one barely detects the tracks of his labor. As Professor Boime wrote in his book, Khavarani “… has perfected this unique method that produces remarkable results, even at the micro level.” Awards Khavarani has won numerous architectural awards such as ‘California Building Official’s highest award of excellence’ for a single family residence, and the design award for the city of Beverly Hills in a commercial category. His “art-scaping” design has been recognized and published in Japan’s most prestigious landscaping magazine for three consecutive years.
